Going Green

When these Gardens opened in 1979 few of the words on the left were in use. Now we re-cycle rubbish, choose fuel efficient cars and we know that our climate is changing.

Gerald Durrell, Peter Scott and others warned of looming man made conservation disasters and they have been proven correct. Rates of species extinction are accelerating. It is too late to save many but some are being helped by the work of Gerald Durrell's Jersey Zoo and other converts to their message.

Conservation

Belatedly, a European Union Directive now compels zoos to contribute to conservation. As these Gardens assigned all its collection to co-operative breeding programmes in 1994 - over 20 years ago, it fully complies with the commendable legislation.
